Commission to Hold Workshop on Affordable Housing


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


    COMMISSION TO HOLD WORKSHOP ON 
                 AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Lincoln, May 13, 2025- The Nebraska Public Service 
Commission (PSC) will hold a July workshop to gather 
information regarding the current state of housing 
affordability in Nebraska.

According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, 
Nebraska’s median home price increased approximately 
fifty percent between 2015 and 2022, outpacing income 
growth and placing a greater strain on the affordability 
of housing statewide. 

In its Order (MODF-19/PI-001), the Commission 
acknowledges the increasing cost of housing 
and the need to explore innovative, safe, and cost-effective 
solutions to meet the state’s growing housing needs.

“The Commission regulates the construction of manufactured 
and modular housing in Nebraska,” said Dist. 2, 
Commissioner Christian Mirch. “Our goal is to bring 
stakeholders from industry and government together to 
brainstorm ways to promote housing affordability in our 
state.”

Beginning at 1:00 p.m. on July 22, the workshop will 
consist of a series of stakeholder presentations and a 
discussion of focused questions designed to generate a 
collaborative approach to dealing with the issue.

Commissioner Mirch said, “We hope to elevate the 
conversation as we work toward increasing awareness and 
finding solutions to the affordable housing crunch in Nebraska.”
